A Moment of Truth for Uganda Govt. - Uganda-CAN Editorial in Daily Monitor Today
The Daily Monitor has today published an Op/Ed by the Uganda Conflict Action Network, co-authored by Peter Quaranto and Michael Poffenberger.
It begins, "The events of the last several weeks have made it clear that if the Government of Uganda wants to end the war in the north, it can. Its decisions over the coming week will illuminate its commitment not only to ending the war, but also to establishing a truly lasting national peace."
And ends, "The war in northern Uganda may finally be coming to an end. However, it will only be a real end to the immense suffering of people in northern Uganda if it includes them, their needs and their wishes. The Government of Uganda is poised to make a choice about the future of the country: whether it will move forward towards lasting peace and national reconciliation or whether the post-independence cycle of division and rebellion will endure."
